Was at my woodguys place yesterday, after the work we had planned we played with some neon transformers.. Pack of 6 4kw transformers, divided in 2 3x groups that had been connected in series, giving us total of 8kV and 150mA. After few beers we decided to make one of those beerchime thingys, but it went somewhat wrong... :D

I believe Jake has recently given some money to these people in exchange for their goods.

Allegedly left underneath the toilet seat in a girl's bathroom after a one night stand:

Stay single gents. Always better to be the guy who writes the note than the one who reads it.

And to top it off, this is the sort of neurosis you'd be expected to deal with: http://wwomenwwarriors.wordpress.com/20 ... about-piv/

(I had to look it up too, PIV apparently means *male genitals* In *female genitals*)

I think I'd rather give up sex than be single for my entire life... and I hear that's just what happens when you get married :D


Linking to RadFem (or whatever they want to be called) blogs as an argument against women is like linking to StormFront in an argument against Republicans.

There are some nutty women out there, I'll do what I can to avoid them but if I fail I can only hope I come out on the other side relatively unscathed. Similarly, there are some nutty men out there and I do what I can to avoid them and can only hope that any encounters with them leave me with my my health in tact.

Well, fortunately, being in a relationship and having sex are not mutually exclusive :wink:

I guess the situation changes depending on how much money you have too. If you're loaded, it'd be easier to go without a partner and enjoy the single life. If you're stuck working 9-5 for 46 weeks a year, you might want something more than just a cat to come home to.

All my talking about this probably make it seems like this is something on the forefront of my mind but I have other things with higher priority to worry about for the time being. Though, I often think about it from an evolutionary point of view and when you take in to account ideas from The Selfish Gene, there are plenty of mindfücks to be had.

It seems that when you start settling down and getting bored with life you start to turn to companionship as an essential part of your sanity. This is a reality for many people before they even hit 30. I imagine many of us here have no problems with having a hobby to keep us interested and sane but it's probably a different story once you retire.
